The podcast "Build and Deploy" explores the lives of people who create things with code, including game developers and creative technologists. In this episode, Nicole He, a creative technologist and game developer, shares her experiences building an SMS bot using Twilio and Google Sheets. The bot was created to empower mutual aid groups to automate processes, particularly for those without reliable internet connections. Nicole discusses the challenges of developing the bot, including authentication issues with Twilio, and how she overcame them using Google Apps Script. She also talks about her own projects, including a sci-fi voice-controlled game and a project that generates prompts for art creation. The conversation touches on topics such as voice technology, mutual aid, and the importance of accessibility in technology development.
